Former All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates for the Lagos State House of Assembly, Kola Egunjobi and Azeez Yusuf, have switched their allegiance to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). This move comes after alterations to the APC candidate list for Agege Constituencies I and II. Egunjobi, a former Agege Local Government Chairman, and Yusuf, also known as Ninolowo, will now compete for the Lagos State House of Assembly seats in the 2027 general election under the APM banner.
The defection was prompted by disagreements surrounding the selection of candidates for the two Agege constituencies under the APC. Initially, both Egunjobi and Ninolowo were declared winners of their respective APC primaries in May. However, subsequent changes to the party's candidate list led to Egunjobi's challenge in June, claiming that the announced result did not match the recorded votes.
With their shift to the APM, Egunjobi and Ninolowo will now seek victory for the two Lagos Assembly seats under the opposition party in the upcoming 2027 election.
